She's in Purple

The latest fashion for my baby.

She's attending one of their school activity wearing a purple spaghetti strap cocktail dress, but she's so conservative that she don't want to show her shoulder so I made an additional short pop sleeves bolero to terno the dress.

I just accessorized it with some beads and sequins.
I thought of putting some swarovski sew on crystals but I have no time to travel to Manila to buy.

How do you like it?

Scented Candles

Hi, now I just wanna share some of my candle collections as requested by my dearest friend Ida.

Year 2002, I studied a candle making for 1 week. I just learned some procedure how to make candles.

I gave most of my finished product to friends whenever there's an special occasions. A personal gift for them.

The photos I'm sharing now are decorative scented candles that I bought, some are from friends too and some was made by Leny ..^_^..

Need to recharge

Today Sunday.... still sleepy, I over time the curtain of my friend, I should deliver those this morning.

Early evening last night my 3 children helped me cut the cloth for the ruffles. First they cut it in half then they cut again the 2nd half to half.The first half was done by my son and the 2nd half that was divided were done by my 2 daughters.

They're always like that, every time they did something, they do it together, helping each other, sharing everything.

Then after a while my 2 daughters went up stairs to do their own stuffs and sleep but my son watch me the whole night 'til morning. He didn't sleep too.

By 5 am I was finished and I rested for an hour. Then took a bath and prepared to go to the church because today is Sunday and not just a simple Sunday but a Palm Sunday. We attended the 8 am mass.

Lots of people, the church was 'full pack', no vacant sit, so we were just standing hearing the whole mass outside the church. I decided outside 'coz inside the atmosphere were suffocating already, outside although we're standing the air was fresh and still we can see the altar and the priest 'coz there's a monitor every where.

This is our new Palaspas (blessed palm), much simple than last year.

I posted Palm Sunday last year.... see the link ...

After the mass we went home and took our breakfast.

Then me and Stephannie delivered and fixed the curtain in my friend's house. It's so simple, soft, light and freshly looking in actual. Glad my friend like it so much. She want's to pay me cash but I refused 'coz she's my friend and that's one way I could help her (actually she's my best friend and no pix of her published here yet).



Then I helped her in assisting her visitors during lunch time since I know them all too. By 3 pm we went home 'coz I'm too sleepy and energy no more... really need to recharge :(

My Crochet

One of my pastime this last few months was doing a crochet, that my son called me granny 'coz I'm doing this already. Is this for an aged crafts? I don't think so, 'coz I started learning this when I was still in my elementary years.


Before Christmas I made a lots of (what you called this) a Glass dress ?
I thought it's a nice gift for my close friends, my self made gift for them. 6 pcs. in one set with 6 glasses too. Their favorite color is green, all of them even my landlady here, so I made all green for them.

The rest are mine.



My small size doilies. Don't want to make it bigger 'coz I easily get bored and I want my project finish at once.







I made coasters too.



Here's where I got my patterns.
